Geopolitical conflicts are increasingly shifting to the information domain, requiring civil society organizations to have better tools for monitoring the public web. By analyzing data at scale, teams like FactCheck.LT and Doublethink Lab are able to expose influence operations ranging from large-scale state propaganda to subtle, early-stage inauthentic activities. Ultimately, closing the resource gap between state-backed actors and civil society requires a stronger coalition between technology providers and the public-interest organizations working to defend information integrity.
